Glad to hear it. Is this really the first time the matter has been brought up with your office?

Hi Charles,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are looking into the problem/solution this week. If it's a quick fix like a plugged drain, we'll have it resolved immediately. If it involves extensive work it will take a few additional weeks. Either way, you should see a drier trail in the next 30 days.
Thanks
Donna

Dear Ms. Canterna,

I recently corresponded with Pauh Wang at the City of Seattle (CC'd on this message) about the drainage problem on the Burke Gilman Trail behind the gym along the ship canal in Fremont. He suggested I contact you, the property manager. The drainage problem, of which you are surely aware, has gone unabated for the last four years. Such a statement is not an exaggeration, as I have been commuting via that route daily, rain or shine, for the last four years. Whenever there is a reasonably significant rain, or a long period of sustained rain (say, between October and June), the drain in the middle of the trail (you know the one) proves insufficient to drain the area, producing a huge, deep, annoying, hazardous, and unavoidable puddle across the entire trail. Trail users have no choice but to ride or walk through it. No other place on the Burke Gilman Trail, in all my years of cycling it between 8th Ave NW and the Roosevelt area, suffers from such a pronounced, persistent and apparently completely ignored maintenance problem. I would like to know what you intend to do about it and when.
